The Library publications are purchased, the large portion of yearly additions is made up of exchanges with numerous museum establishments at home and abroad. Recently the Library encompasses more than 33 tausend catalogued volumes, of which around 600 are serial publications. As service for the core activities of the National Galleries, the Library is opened also for other professionals of the field and interested public for two hours on working days.
